I thought that (1) meth (e.g. methylphenidate a.k.a. ritalin) blocks reuptake of dopamine, and (2) amphetamine (e.g. dextroamphetamine) stimulates production of dopamine, and (3) methamphetamine (a.k.a. desoxyn) does both. Is that understanding accurate?
- LM358 2y agoI have never seen "meth" taken to mean anything other than methamphetamine, and certainly not methylphenidate.
- bichiliad 2y ago“Meth” is methamphetamine, not methylphenidate. Ritalin isn’t the same thing as Meth. Not sure about how Ritalin vs Adderall act different on dopamine.
- jart 2y agoThen why does it have meth in the name genius?
